This is why I get a chuckle when people say "you can't tow that, you'll be over your payload rating" :sneaky:

Trailer sway is all about weight distribution. I would check your cargo before asking really generic questions. In general I would say no, you should not expect a 1/2 ton to drive like a 3/4 ton....

Rhino Ramps here- just check the actual weight rating before you go loading a truck on it....

You should have let them pull your oil pan - they would have easily seen whatever debris was bouncing around the tone wheel and likely replaced your engine the first time.

Now that's a PSA

The audible alert - the one in question on my dashcam video - does not alert unless the turn signal is on. Otherwise the truck would be chiming at you every time a car passed by. If your car is doing that, you should have it looked at

Thank you! Yeah, I think a wiring harness is pinched because there's no camera signal from that mirror, and that or something else is keeping start-stop from operating. I won't be surprised if parts cost more than the body work

Yeah, my post was intentionally sarcastic, but it's funny how such a minor noise stands out when your interior is super quiet

If you have blind spot detection, go into settings for blind spot alert, and you can have it only light up the mirrors, or light and make an audible alert. I have my truck set to light and audible, so if I have my turn signal on and someone enters my blind spot (or the trailer's) I get a "beep...

Unfortunately that specific nanny is a result of someone dying - there's no way to disable it aside from buckling the seatbelt to tell the truck "hey, I'm still here" https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2018/03/22/anton-yelchin-settlement-jeep-death-court/451290002/

Luckily for me, I have dash cam footage that recorded the blind spot alert (because my turn signal was on) right before impact. Thanks for the 3rd party judgment to remind everyone to buy a dash cam

Last night I was trying to take a wide left onto an angled dirt road from a two-lane country road, when the impatient driver behind me was suddenly in my driver door. Tears for my 2020 Limited aside, here are a few things I wish I didn't have to look up in the owner's manual on the side of the...

TFL is one of the best 3rd party resources for towing MPG https://tfltruck.com/2018/06/mpg-challenge-most-efficient-truck-towing-listed-specs/ Without a doubt, the modern turbodiesel version of a truck will get better MPG than gas variants. If that's all you care about, you have your answer...

Yeah, I've put about 8,000 miles on my truck towing ~6,000 lbs with the family from TX to IL, and then with a bunch of buddies to CO, on top of driving daily to work. The other week I noticed a slight squeak coming from the seatbelt area - slightly annoying. My wife drove it and insisted I...

Local PD has entered the chat... Pulling fuses would be the best way to do something actively illegal and dangerous.

Actual black smoke? Or just a spray of black stuff? If it's actual black smoke, it's usually a sign of running rich - I wouldn't worry on a brand new truck without any engine codes, since it's probably just startup enrichment. For a black "spray" of stuff, it's likely just condensation mixing...

Sounds like a bad power distribution module - hopefully that's the end of your problems

Or just hit the button and temporarily disable it...

Yeah, hair dryers are 800-1500 watts - a little over the 400W limit :) Awesome! Blender ordered :)

I'm looking at getting a cheap blender so we can make margaritas, etc. at the track and it's right at 400W (BL2010BP). Has anyone run any blenders, power tools, etc. off the inverter? My main concern is whether it has enough inrush current to kick the motor over
